We were neighbors of Joe and Anne in Elmhurst, for many years. We were rivals when it came to cars. Joe was a diehard Ford man, the neighbors in between liked Chevy's and we liked Chrysler products. We had many "livey conversations". Joe and Anne helped orginize many block parties over the years. Joe will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers to the family.
